port of oakland. oakland's mayor jean quan will deliver the annual state of the city address tonight. one of the big topics is the "occupy" movement in oakland. the speech set for 7:00 in the city council chambers. 6:12 now. a big shake-up in the gop race. we have a live report on rick santorum surprise three state sweep of what it means for mitt romney's front-runner status. >> how a 15-year-old's joy road taught him a hard lesson. it's coming up. storm clouds now parting leaving a light dusting of snow over the sierra nevada. here's the snow report: we'll talk more about your weather when we come back. ♪

heading to texas today.. fresh off his victories in three states last night. he missouri... in campaign 2012 rick santorum is head won a nonbinding campaign in missouri as well as caucuses in two

other states. the upset was in colorado where he beat favorite mitt romney by 5%age points and by a huge margin in minnesota over second place ron paul. romney finished third. susan mcginnis joins from us washington, d.c. this one you thought, rick santorum was down and out. he's back! >> reporter: he is back. and he won all of yesterday and, you know, a lot of people are calling these beauty contests because no delegates were awarded yesterday. but this really does provide rick santorum a lot of momentum going forward. now he could get some donor dollars to go forward to, you know, to do well in the later contests like in texas and coming up on super tuesday. you know, the big takeaway is that conservative voters in those states yesterday, the far right conservatives are sending a message that the party is not coalescing around mitt romney at least in some contests. this is not our guy and they may not be saying rick santorum is our guy but they're kind of saying, romney is not.

>> in a lot of ways they are. how many does this affect mitt romney's front-runner status and do you think this will change the way he campaigns from here on out? >> yes. it may not change the front- runner status because he has the status but it will change his behavior going forward before you we can expect barrages of negative ads. another big takeaway is this could end up being a long and protracted and bitter battle that drags on for months and some republicans are afraid that this could hurt the party as a whole and end up with a divided convention in august and with a weakened candidate going up against barack obama. >> and what lies ahead? i know we have maine, the caucus this weekend and what's after that? >> reporter: end of february we have a debate and at the end of february we have one more primary. that is we have two, arizona and michigan. those are important. arizona is heavily mormon,

heavily conservative so it will be to see how romney does there. and then we have super tuesday. that's the big one and you're going to see gingrich again then. a lot of southern states including georgia, oakland, tennessee, are supposed to favor gingrich. so the race will heat up end of february and march 6 super tuesday. >> you have seen it from the beginning. kind of crazy, right? >> reporter: absolutely. we have never seen this kind of flip-flopping back and for the among the front-runners in so long. it's interesting to watch and really shows that this party does not have someone that they can really coalesce around yet. there isn't that much longer to wait or it's going to be romney and the fear is that he will lose to barack obama. that is the fear among a lot of conservatives. >> i imagine the democrats are loving every bit of it. we'll see where it all goes. >> they are. >> susan mcginnis live in d.c., thank you. appreciate it. let's check in with

lawrence. we have these big waves coming in. >> high surf at the coast. 18-foot breakers along the coast. fog becoming a problem around the bay area as our skies are filling with ground fog. that tule fog making it very tough to see outside. i think by the afternoon, more sunshine on the way. but be careful at the coast. changes on the way toward the weekend. high pressure sneaking back in as that system that brought the rain showers is headed south and east of the bay area. this ridge going to bring with it some warmer temperatures over the next couple of days. dense fog advisories in the north and east bay some of the visibilities less than a quarter mile, maybe some places down to about an 8th of a mile so be very, very careful if you traveling early this morning. that shift lift around 9:00 and then it's back to sunshine. -- that should lift around 9:00 and then it's back to sunshine. 64 degrees in san mateo today. east bay temperatures up as high as 65 in pleasanton. 64 in livermore. and about 65 degrees in the napa valley. inside the bay you will find about 62 in alameda, 59

keep it running. the secret service is going to be mad at me about this. >> yeah. that's what the president said after he stepped behind an extreme marshmallow cannon. here he is. >> oh!! let's look at at the marshmallow and see what happened! >> the project all part of the white house science fair. the president offered to help pump compressed air into the 8th grader's cannon. the marshmallow projectile hit the ceiling. no one was hurt. coming up, we have a super outbreak at the super bowl. the infection that spread at a pre-game party. >> and a facebook friending fewer people. the major slowdown in the number of its users. >> will he or won't he be able to see his son? san francisco sheriff ross mirkarimi is in court this morning. the prosecution continues to build its case against him.

trial, christina flores his ex- girlfriend. she dated him back in 2007 and 2008 and has a similar story of abuse. prosecutors say that shows a pattern of abusive behavior. so we'll see what the judge rules in that case but his trial is scheduled to start on february 24 but this morning's hearing here in family court scheduled to start at 9 a.m. we have been tracking this story and watching the sheriff go back and forth to court. is there a reason that today he might have a better chance of getting the right to see his son. >> reporter: last week he asked the family court judge for the right to see his son and he also asked that that right be expedited and at that point the judge said no, the ruling would not be expedited so we understand that between then and now, he and his wife have been meeting privately with mediators. they have been coming up with a visitation plan and then that plan would have to be approved or denied by the judge. >> very good. anne makovec live for us in san francisco. anne, thanks. this morning, arson

short of the votes needed to increase police activity against protestors. the proposed resolution would have allowed police to use whatever "lawful" tools available against unpermitted demonstrations that block roads. itself mentions the port of oakland. they have had are tough there. it specifically mentions the port of oakland. protestors were scolded for disrupting last night's meeting. rain is gone. now we have high surf and fog. >> it's interesting now. a lot of fog just developing. it looks like it is thickening up around the bay area especially in the valleys but even over the bay right now. you can see that that fog has thickened up. looking toward the bay bridge you can't see it out there because that fog is sitting on the surface and just too thick. temperatures now running mainly in the 40s and 50s around the bay area. but the visibilities going to be very low. some places less than a quarter mile and less than an 8th in some of the valleys of. this afternoon, temperatures with the fog long gone, mostly sunny skies about 66 in san jose. 65 degrees in santa clara.

and the east bay looking good with temperatures up into the 60s by the afternoon. inside the bay you will find plenty of sunshine too just a couple of passing high clouds this afternoon the about 63 degrees in san francisco. and about 62 degrees in hayward. even warmer in the coming days. we'll talk about that. right now let's check the roads. >> we can see the fog in the cameras in addition to a backup on the bay bridge toll plaza. they turned on the metering lights. it's difficult to tell how far the backups extend with the fog but it's beyond the west grand overcrossing. so at least 10, possibly 15 minutes or getting close it 15 minutes to get you on the bridge. they turned the metering lights on because it's crowded up the incline. down the eastshore freeway not too bad, 22 minutes still in the green from the carquinez bridge to the maze. there's a new accident just reported southbound 880 right before highway 92. apparently it's in the center divide. so if you are heading towards the san mateo bridge, heads up there. we're not seeing any slowing yet up and down 880 where that accident has been reported.

across the san mateo bridge, right side of that camera you see there, that is westbound 92. should be still about a 13 or 1- minute drive time out of hayward towards the peninsula. so here's a live look at the nimitz. busy both directions but no delay in the drive time, 16 minutes between 238 and the maze. coming up we'll have a check of mass transit. back to you. >> thank you. european union plans to impose harsher sanctions on syria, that word coming as russia's foreign minister holds talks with syria's president assad. russia is pushing assad to end the bloodshed that killed thousands over the last year. assad telling the russians he is assigning his vice president to hold talks with opposition groups. it's 6:35. and rick santorum back on the campaign trail today. he has something to boast about. he won last night in all three states that held presidential contests. >> conservativism is alive and

well in missouri and minnesota! whoo! >> the victories in colorado, missouri and minnesota don't make santorum the overall front- runner among republicans. but they can revive his campaign and they can also make things tough on mitt romney who is actually the leader in the number of delegates right now. the next contest, caucuses in the state of maine on saturday. ron paul is expected to do well there. 6:36. gay marriage opponents are vowing to take the fight to the u.s. supreme court. they plan to appeal yesterday's ruling that says prop 8 is unconstitutional. the ninth circuit court of appeals here in san francisco ruled 2-1 that the voter- approved initiative served another purpose other than to, quote, lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians. one legal expert says if it goes to the supreme court, justices will allow gay marriage. >> this is an issue whose time has come. the cultural understanding of the issue is really advanced.

i think it's 5-4 in favor of same-sex marriage. and i think it could even be 6- 3 or 7-2. >> many people here in the bay area back the court's decision. our exclusive eyewitness news poll of 500 adults found 61% agree with the ruling and 57% say they should be able to share the legal benefits of marriage. state lawmakers are taking up a new plan to save some big bucks for college students. assembly speaker john perez calls it the middle class scholarship. the plan slashes student tuition fees by two-thirds. and it would be funded by eliminating a 2009 corporate tax break. the state would pay about $1 billion for that plan every year. and it adds up to $4,000 in annual savings for cal state students. uc students would save more than $8,100. facebook exploded on the scene in its early days and now eight years later it could be a sign of the times. slowing down. kcbs radio's matt bigler joins

did a better job in terms of the russian language, it's focused on the russian experience and i've talked to people who say they prefer it to facebook. >> is. >> reporter: analysts are also looking for signs of facebook fatigue among regular users. but some good news here for the social network, according to a new study by the pew internet and american life project, they found no evidence of facebook fatigue among long-time users. so that's where the company is hoping that they will continue to be able to monetize the site more display ads for the people who check in every day, every hour in some cases and they are hoping to make more profit from mobile users, more and more people checking in on facebook on their cell phones and tablet computers. that's the latest from here in silicon valley. back to you guys. >> not exactly welcome news with the ipo coming up quickly, too, matt. >> reporter: that's right. that's why it's such a surprise. analysts are trying to value the company. is it really worth $100 billion? and this is some evidence that

well. 6:43. we have a high surf advisory that says we may see 18-foot waves along the coastline today. gil diaz is live at the pacifica pier and how's it looking? >> reporter: hi, grace. good morning. we just got here minutes ago and we're trying to stay dry because these waves are huge! now, if you surf, you're going to love what you're about to see. thankfully it's a little light. you can see these huge waves. you can definitely hear them crashing on the rocks. look at that wave over there! like you said, grace, there is a high surf advisory in effect until 3:00 this afternoon. but it might end a little earlier than that from traditional surf advisories. take a look at this. this is what surfers live for. i just want to remind that you these can be treacherous. you have to be very careful when you come out here with your wet suits that they look nice you but you know what? there's rip currents that occur most of it occurring during the morning.

and it's so dangerous to be in a rip current. it's hard to get out of that. so i'm sounding like your father right now but just be very careful if you are going to be surfing these big waves as tall as 18 feet. to tell us more about today's weather along the coast and inland valleys, let's check in with lawrence karnow. >> good morning, gil. now, it's interesting, they will close down that pier behind gil as the waves crest over the top of the pier and a lot of time those waves come you want over the shore interest and push all the sand up near the homes along the coast. all right. outside right now, more fog getting thick right now. some dense fog showing up in some of the valleys. that's something else to worry about this morning as some of that fog dropping visibilities down to a quarter on 8th of a mile. warm and sunday any this afternoon the changes on the weekend. warm and sunny this afternoon. high pressure will bring with it a nice dry day today but we're also seeing calm conditions and dense fog in the north and east bay valleys.

delays at sfo over an hour for arriving flights because of the fog. by the afternoon the fog is gone and temperatures warm up. 56 degrees in sunnyvale. 61 in pacifica and about 62 degrees in hayward. plenty of sunshine into the east bay this afternoon, as well. mid-60s into pleasanton and livermore. and inside the bay you will find those temperatures up into the 50s and 60s. so really looking at some beautiful weather ahead here at least for the next couple of days. temperatures soaring well above the average. tomorrow, near 70 degrees in some spots. cooling off on friday with a few more clouds. unsettled over the weekend a chance of showers on sunday. that's a look at weather. here's elizabeth with traffic. >> thanks, lawrence. we can see the fog moving around in all of our cameras. earlier we could really see it on our golden gate bridge camera. actually now though it's picture-perfect. you can see nice and clear as you head towards the pay gates. but within the last 10, 15 minutes or so, they went ahead and issued a couple of new fog advisories for some bridges. now, these are fog advisories issued by chp when they drive over one of these bridges and

they decide that the fog is thick enough that visibility is going to be an issue. so they just issued one for the richmond/san rafael bridge. they also issued one for the carquinez bridge and the benicia bridge. and we have had one in effect for the bay bridge since overnight. they issued this one early this morning. you can see it pretty thick this morning as you head towards the pay gates. there's also a pretty good sized delay. so it looks like drivers may be slowing down quite a bit. earlier we could really see it on the san francisco side of the span. so anyway, it's already backed up for a good 20-minute wait backed up into the maze and the metering lights are on. these fog advisories are different than the one issued from the national weather service. these are chp issued fog advisories. this is an accident we have been following, southbound 880 by highway 92. apparently it's still there blocking possibly a lane, maybe in the center divide. we're not seeing any slowing on our sensors though across the stretch. usually it does start to get busy anyway across that area. folks heading towards the san mateo bridge. but so far in the green and also in the green top speeds this morning all across the

span at the san mateo bridge from hayward in the commute direction heading towards the peninsula. more traffic including a check of mass transit coming up. back to you. 6:48. brazil's message to twitter: stop tweeting about speed traps and police roadblocks. brazil wants twitter to crack down on users who share that information and just filed a lawsuit calling for $290,000 for each day that twitter fails to comply. last month the company said it would begin deleting user tweets in countries that require it. but it also said it would keep those deleted tweets visible to everyone else. more changes at the top at yahoo. >> lots of departures. here now to talk about it jason brooks with kcbs and cbsmoneywatch.com. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, frank. good morning, grace. it's been a busy time at yahoo. and that has meant a lot of shake-up on the company's board of directors. chairman more bostock and three others won't seek ee re- election, this after jerry yang

let's check in with lawrence for a last check of perfect. yesterday rain, today fog and waves, trying to kind busy. >> we thought it was going to be quiet today. but waves rocking along the coastline today, big-time surf out there, 18-foot breaks. that's pacifica pier. you want to stay away from the rocks today as those waves are expected to continue to crest into the afternoon. now, we're also seeing some dense fog all around the bay area right now. temperatures running in the 40s and 50s. dense fog advisory continuing in the north and east bay. some of the visibilities down to less than a quarte mile or eighth mile. the fog gone this afternoon, plenty of sunshine, temperatures soaring back to the 60s in most spots, some places near 70 by tomorrow then we cool off becoming a little unsettled into the weekend. and speaking of this weekend, the chinese new year's parade, it will be dry if you want to check it out in san francisco. partly cloudy skies, about 55 degrees and i think that's some of the 8 immortals dancing down san francisco -- i think that's some of the eight -- that's two

of them anyway. [ laughter ] >> that is part of the crew that's going to be out there. you can see the rest if you go to san francisco this weekend. [ laughter ] >> okay. i want to go right out to san francisco because we have some breaking traffic news what sounds like a bad accident on city streets in san francisco. a driver was coming off westbound 80 off of the bay bridge down the fifth street off-ramp and it sounds like right there by fifth the car hit a pedestrian. so we're not sure about injuries. be extra careful on the roads. obviously, fog is really an issue. we have four fog advisories in effect on our bridges this morning. you can really see it as you as you make your way towards the bay bridge toll plaza. it's so thick, it's hard to tell where the backups begin and end. we know it is jammed solid through the macarthur maze. this is actually the san francisco side of the bay bridge. so obviously we just can't see traffic at all because fog is so thick. they issued a couple of other fog advisories this morning just within the last half hour. they issued one for the richmond/san rafael bridge. they also issued one for the carquinez bridge and one for the benicia bridge. so again, that's bay bridge,

richmond/san rafael bridge, carquinez bridge and benicia. before you we're seeing foggy spots across the bay area and pretty slow traffic. check highway 4. they have a lot of speeds under 10 miles per hour as you make your way through antioch and we have a lot of brake lights for silicon valley commuters as well on westbound 237 right by the 880/237 interchange. so again, during the cutins, traffic and weather, we'll let you know about that serious accident in san francisco near 80 and fifth streets. >> take that all the time of. thank you, elizabeth. we end with a florida teen that got the thrill of a lifetime. take a look. >> that's 15-year-old mitchell overton wake boarding in the gulf of mexico. there are two bottlenosed dolphins swimming with him. they swam next to him for 30 seconds. suddenly they lost interest and stopped following him but how cool is that. >> they probably ran out of gas.
